Elaichi Chai

Gently crush the green cardamom pods using a mortar and pestle to release their aromatic seeds.

In a saucepan, combine water and the crushed green cardamom pods. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, add the black tea leaves to the saucepan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tea to brew and the cardamom flavor to infuse.
